How to find true friends
How I did it: In the last few years of my life, I have lost contact with friends I thought would be there forever, and made new friends that I now know will be there when I need them. When we are younger I think it's easy to get caught up in the idea that because you've known someone for a period of time that makes them a close friend, which is not always the case. I had a close friend of mine this year pull away from me and was hurt by the fact that all of our time together meant nothing to her, in losing that friendship, I started to take notice of how great my other friendships are. I feel blessed to know that I have several people I can always count on, and I strive to make sure they feel the same with me.
